A blood test is a laboratory analysis performed on a blood sample that is usually extracted from a vein in the arm using a needle, or via fingerprick. Multiple tests for specific blood components (such as a glucose test or a cholesterol test) are often grouped together into one test panel called a blood panel or blood work.
Upper Air Troughs. When the height contours bend strongly to the south, (as in the diagram below), it is called a TROUGH. Strong troughs are typically preceded by stormy weather and colder air at the surface. Here is an example of a trough in an upper-level height field (red contours).
The respiratory tract is divided into the upper airways and lower airways. The upper airways or upper respiratory tract includes the nose and nasal passages, paranasal sinuses, the pharynx, and the portion of the larynx above the vocal cords.he upper respiratory tract, can refer to the parts of the respiratory system lying above the sternal angle (outside of the thorax), above the glottis (vocal cords), or above the cricoid cartilage. So that the larynx is sometimes included in the upper airway and sometimes in the lower airway.
